| shashaxxx: Good thing you posted about this b/c I am also getting a bit worried about Ginger and ShyAnne. Shy is almost 4 mos old and they've been together for a month. They play and play all day - and half the nite, sometimes. And, they do get rough!! Ginger is 1.5yo and not much bigger than the new pup so I get anxious when I hear either one of them yelp! Wondering how much is "too rough" and when should Mommy step in and separate them. I've done that already a few times and then I feel guilty - one or the other starts the play fight all over again, looking at me like "what's the problem, Mom!?" So, hearing from others about rough play between pups or between adult and pup, would be nice. I know that play/fighting between siblings can get rough and scary but that it is ok to just leave them be.

| Totally normal! I have two and they do exactly what you described... They are 1 and 2 years old. They are constantly pouncing, biting, growling etc at each other. I have never inerfered and neither of them has ever injured the other. That's just how they play. They do this all day pretty much! LOL! I think it's cute!

| I am happy to hear that between two dogs, that this behaviour is normal, however, I sold my Ragdoll cat, because she kept on beating up my little yorkie. Tulip Last edited by Tulip; 07-26-2007 at 02:42 PM. |

| I'm glad to hear this too. Penny is definetly a little fighter. She sounds like a darn tiger when she gets started.
